Former presidential advisor visits Savannah

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - Former presidential advisor Karl Rove was in Savannah for the Savannah Book Festival over the weekend. While he was here to talk about his book, he also shared his thoughts on what's going on overseas.

"This is resisted at every turn by the autocrats that dominated many of them long time allied of the United States. We made a deal with the devil. We're willing to take stability over democracy in the long run. We have neither stability nor democracy," Rove told WTOC.

His new book is called The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power.

During Thursday’s Savannah City Council meeting, Savannah Mayor Eddie DeLoach stated that the city is beginning the process of renaming the perceived racist name of the Talmadge Bridge and adding to the Confederate monument in Forsyth Park.
